event based mini game help/ request

[siggy]

I need help figuring out how to make a few mini games and I hope it can all be done in events...if its not all posible then I can request elsewhere =p

Game one: Volleyball
If possible for the player to have a NPC on its teram VS two other NPCs.
A ball bounces back and fourth and the players have to bounce the ball back kinda like pong. If the ball hits the ground then the team whos side it isnt on gets a point. first to whate ver points wins and gets a prize.

Game two: Racing
Just where to characters are continuesly running on a track at a fast pace. can push eachother to slow the oponent down and collect items to speed you up.

Game three: Carnival shooter
Targets move back and fourth and then you must hit them. u have so many shots and if u win u get a prize. Yay!

Game four: Chiken Chase
Have to catch so many chikens in a set amount of time.

Mkay thats all I can think of for now, =p

With most minigames you need a huge ammount of varaible pairs for the X and Y of each key object.
With volley ball I advise having a set movement path for the ball and if it's at y=0 point then it's a point to one side if it's x is less than the half way point or the other side if it's greater, if it's at y=1 and the x= the player's x then it doesn the path over the net.
Racing you need it to constantly move up and top left/top right when arrow keys pressed.
For carnival you'll need something similar to my Defend the Tower mini game, when you press action to shoot and if it doesn reach the destination then it has hit a target and depending on the X that target is destroyed.
Chicken chasing sounds easy, I'd do it like my Catch the prisoners mini game, where you just have to player touch the prisoners and the score variable is +1 and the prisoner event gone.

Mini game eventing is like girls, you need to figure out what you want, but there will always be problems,you'll never get the prefered outcome and eventually they will rip your heart out and spread it's blood all over their face and claim you have no understanding and then you're a broken person just there to help others get into the same situation where they want to know how to make a mini game and you know so you tell them and then you go off and cry yourself to sleep thinking "She lied! She's fake! She never did love me!" and at the end, you have a damn good event but it's now useless because no one else will understand how perfect it was.

Hope I was of some help.

Xilef - I was reading that, and I couldn't keep from laughing near the end. I thought you'd stop at "Minigame eventing is like girls", but no... Nice work anyways.
